IAM Systems Engineer - Enterprise Technology
Job Description
[Up to c. $375k Comp Package (or equivalent) | Hybrid Working]
Role Overview
We’re supporting a leading, technology-driven trading firm as it expands its Enterprise Technology function. This team sits at the intersection of identity, productivity, and internal platforms - building the systems that underpin how thousands of employees securely access tools, collaborate, and move through the firm. This role focuses on Identity and Access Management (IAM) and employee lifecycle engineering, with a strong emphasis on automation, integrations, and reliability. You’ll work on the systems that govern joiners, movers, and leavers; connect SaaS platforms through SSO and SCIM; and design tooling that scales securely across a growing, high-performance organisation. It’s a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys owning internal platforms end-to-end...
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain automation that supports identity, access, and employee lifecycle processes across the enterprise
- Engineer and operate integrations between identity platforms, directory services, and internal systems (e.g. LDAP-backed workflows, SaaS provisioning, asset tracking)
- Administer and extend productivity platforms such as collaboration tools, document suites, and internal SaaS applications
- Implement and maintain SSO and provisioning flows using standards such as SAML, OIDC, and SCIM across a growing SaaS estate
- Develop Python-based services and scripts that reduce manual work and improve the reliability of IAM and IT operations
- Own operational excellence for identity-related systems, including escalation handling, root-cause analysis, and long-term fixes
- Produce clear technical documentation covering system architecture, workflows, and best practices
- Break down ambiguous problems into deliverable components, communicate progress clearly, and iterate with stakeholders across technology and the business
What You’ll Bring…
- 5-10 years’ experience in systems engineering, IAM engineering, or a closely related platform-focused role
- Strong Python skills, with experience building meaningful tools, services, or automations rather than one-off scripts
- Hands-on experience administering and integrating enterprise SaaS platforms (e.g. identity providers, collaboration tools, developer tooling)
- Solid understanding of authentication and provisioning standards such as SAML, OIDC, SCIM, and API-driven identity workflows
- Practical familiarity with Linux systems, including confidence working at the command line and interpreting application logs
- Experience designing or supporting identity-driven employee lifecycle processes at scale
- Comfort working with APIs, webhooks, and third-party integrations across heterogeneous systems
- Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code or configuration management tools such as Terraform or Salt
- A degree in computer science, engineering, or a related discipline is preferred, though equivalent experience is welcomed
- An engineering mindset: you enjoy simplifying complex systems, improving reliability, and eliminating repetitive work
- (Preferred) Experience implementing client-side SSO within internally developed applications
- (Preferred) Exposure to identity governance, access reviews, or security-adjacent IAM concerns
